RS2 Brake lines

[Billman]

Hi, i want to manufacture Metall brakelines for my RS2 and i would like to know what are the lengths i need and what kind of fittings do i need on them! Does someone have this info??

What specs must they have? Specific pressures???

Thanks a lot!

[pastures16]

are these the hardlines for the calipers if its not worth the hassle they are so cheap to buy

[Billman]

the rubber oner (the ones thay have to move during steering)!

Any comments on aftermarket ones? Or specs so i can make my own!

Are Goodridge good?

[pastures16]

got no specs but goodridge are sound unless anyone knows of cheaper options

[volcano rs]

i had some made £30 a pair

[Billman]

where?? Can you tell us what specs must they have?? Dimentions, fittings, how much pressure must they hold?

I have found the Goodridge set (it is a 6 pieces set for the RS2) for 125 euros + post!

i had them made for sport quattro not sure about the length for rs2 but for around £60 to£70 i recon for a full set .not from goodridge but their rivals here in birmingham

[Billman]

and how did they call themselves?

[volcano rs]

jls motorsport they are the company that make accralite forged pistons too .

[Billman]

just checked their site! Looks good but they dont have ready kits, and the problem is i dont know the dimensions and the fittings that are used there!

[volcano rs]

their stuff is same quality as goodridge if not better. find out the length and thread size and email them they will sort you out.

lets see if someone comes up with this info! I have written it in 3 forums and noone seems to know!

I had a custom line made when I fitted the 996 mono upgrade. This one line replaced all the rubber and hardlines altogether meaning I just had one flexy line from the suspension tower to the caliper.

See this for a few pictures.
I'll measure the length of it tomorrow. (before anyone pips in, not that length )

For starters i need the kind of fittings found on the upper brakeline part on the suspension! I has 285mm length but dont know what kind of fittings does it need!

jas thats what i've done .i thought billman was asking to do the same .this is the better way billman you've only got 1 line on each side to worry about .
